9 years ago Sorry to hear you have such trouble with KouChat.
Did you try the suggestions from the troubleshooting section on the play store page for KouChat? Sometimes it's the Android device that is dropping packets to save battery, and other times it's just a lot of packet loss on the network.
I know KouChat doesn't behave very well on networks with a lot of packet loss, and I intent to fix this for version 2.
I ran this from my windows 7 machine and my android phone, sharing a common home wi-fi network. The other devices were discovered. one-word messages went across nicely. But when I sent a whole sentence, the trouble began. Over the next few minutes, around half of all messages sent never reached the other device. From either end. And this was all at random.. couldn't make out any pattern. Even short words started getting dropped. There is no way for either end to know that their message has never reached the recipients, or to know if they didn't get any message. So this makes kouchat thoroughly unreliable.
